Ahem.

Any thoughts on what replacement terminology you're going to use? The interesting thing about Cypher is that it created a precedent for ability words and tagging words that are different (unlike Haunt or Imprint). So you could, if you wished, use Worship as the keyword alongside a word that would expand on the flavor. 

That's a good point. Imprint imprinted things, and haunt haunted things, but cypher encoded things. i supose in the case of worship you could chose to use the word worship or something else, entirely, so long as that word fits the flavour.

I'm afraid worshipping is the best I've got.

Worship- Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you may exile this permanent worshipping that creature.

I could remove the worship moniker altogether, like one poster suggested:

Backup- Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you may exile this permanent supporting that creature.

The only problem is that Backup doesn't steer the flavour away from Soulbond the way Worship does.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Also, isn't "high-power" less a white thing than other colors?

They had it in Naya when 5 power was a thing. I think all colours can have "power matters" when needed.

And blue gets lots of +1/+1 counters normally, I'm sure.

Just as blue doesn't have a lot of +1/+1 counters, white doesn't have a lot of power matters. However, just as blue was allowed to have evolve, I argued that white could have the old version of worship.


What are you hoping to gain from your sarcasm? I removed power matters from the mechanic. It seems like you just saw an opportunity for a pointless, snarky comment and went for it.

Not all criticism is useful or welcome. Without pointing at anyone or anything in particular, I'm just going to advise you put more importance on the critiques of some posters than others.

I always put the most importance on your advice, TPManW. Don't worry about that.


Anyway, I think we're done here. If anyone wants to put this mechanic in a set, they're absolutely welcome to it. (I recall someone asking, but I don't remember who it was)
